Weird stealth/camera mod issue.

Post » Fri Aug 20, 2010 11:51 am

Since it doesn't seem like the Nexus page is really at all active, maybe some of the more mod savvy people around here can help me out.

I'm using the Ultimate 3rd Person Camera mod, which is just fantastic. However, it seems to have completely broken my sneak ability. It works fine at first, but if I ever reload a save, suddenly I am a super ninja. Even if I use the console to put sneak skill at a pretty low level (25 or so), I am impossible for NPCs to see even 3 feet away in broad daylight while sneaking. This happens with all my other mods on, as well as with all my other mods off (including other omods). Turning off the 3rd person camera omod fixes everything, of course, but after playing a nonstealthy character for quite awhile with it, it's really hard to go back to the boring default first person view.

In my extremely time consuming tests to narrow down exactly what was happening, the only other seemingly useful bits of info I've found is that deleting the "skeleton" file in meshes/characters/_1stperson also fixes the stealth problem. Unfortunately it also messes up the camera and causes a clone of me to be floating a few feet behind at all times. Also, if I press Rshift to disable the mod in-game and go into first person mode, THEN reload my save and fiddle with Rshift until the mod enables again (seems inconsistent whether pressing it does anything, so this can take a little bit), everything works fine until I reload again. But it is a tremendous pain in the ass, especially seeing as I'm a pretty cheap bastard who abuses reloading saves constantly. I can't help it. Dunno if that info assists in narrowing down the problem.

Anyone happen to have any sort of clue as to what in the world is going on? I'd really like to use the mod. All of my other fantastic mods that make my character look and animate great are a bit of a waste if I can't see myself as in first person mode, and the default third person is just unplayable. The Gears of War cam mod doesn't seem to work at all for me, so that's not really an alternative. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
